00:29Votes build! Votes build!
00:33Lane Peepock is a valued member of our community.
00:36And I deeply regret my involvement in this smear on her character.
00:41Ah, noise pollution. That's what it is. Vulgar and cheap.
00:46Yeah? Wouldn't be vulgar and cheap if you'd thought of it first.
00:49I wouldn't lower myself.
00:51Excuse me, you are going to put a little tick in my box, aren't you?
00:55I don't know. I ain't had my breakfast yet.
00:57Yeah, but you will be voting for me.
00:59I'll tell you what I'll do. Put a couple of extra sausages on.
01:02I will vote for you. I'm easily bought.
01:04Yeah, I had heard.
01:07Surprised to see you up and about.
01:09Thought you'd be getting your beauty sleep.
01:11Why?
01:12I heard you last night.
01:13What's this?
01:14Quarter three this morning.
01:16Linda was having a bit of a giggle with some geezer.
01:19Couldn't quite make out the voice.
01:21Mind the plate. It's hot.
01:26Everything to your satisfaction?
01:28Oh, you'll get, er, no complaints from me.
01:32Never known a baby who just likes to sleep so much.
01:35It's just like Gina. She used to keep us all up.
01:39What's this?
01:40I'm trying to work out if any of us look like Ivy at her age.
01:46Is this you?
01:47Yes.
01:49That is innocent me.
01:51You.
01:51Can't see any of me and Ivy, though.
01:54I can see a little bit of Harry, though.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Oh.
01:57Hmm.
01:59Hmm?
02:00What's this?
02:02Oh.
02:03Sorry.
02:03That must have got caught up in the others.
02:06Yeah, but, erm...
02:08Holiday at Pontins.
02:09Eddie won the knobbly knees contest.
02:13Never seen Mum so happy.
02:15Yeah.
02:17Can't have been easy yesterday.
02:19Knowing it was the last time you were ever gonna see him.
02:23Yeah.
02:28You know, er, I need to pop out in a bit.
02:31I've got something to do.
02:32It's just a bit of business.
02:34Could you look after Ivy?
02:35Yeah, of course.
02:49Oh, God!
02:50I just...
02:50Who I voted for is between me and the voting booth.
02:54It's just I wanna make sure...
02:55You shouldn't be saying anything!
02:57It's illegal!
02:58Is it?
02:58You know, women have only had the vote for 100 years,
03:01and here you are, a woman, breaking the rules by pounding me!
03:04Oh, right, so you're a feminist,
03:05so you voted for the female candidate, Elaine, did you?
03:07Because I just...
03:08Who are you, anyway?
03:09What?
03:10You've only been on the square five minutes.
03:12I am a resident of long standing.
03:14I know both the candidates, so...
03:17Thank you!
03:18A good...
03:19Thank you!
03:23I did it.
03:24You voted for Elaine?
03:26Yep.
03:26And I don't even feel guilty.
03:29Ian, as a counsellor, is a nightmare, believe me.
03:31I had it all through Covid.
03:33I mean, Mr Bigshot.
03:36Arrogant.
03:37Pompous.
03:38Bullying everyone about.
03:39And it'd be one in the eye for that bee and all.
03:41I mean, she's treating the house like it's her HQ.
03:44There's something about that woman I don't trust.
03:46I'll follow you, lead.
03:48No, Harvey, only if you want to.
03:49I love you, don't I?
03:51Solidarity in the face of adversity.
03:53Right.
03:55How are you too polite?
03:56Nothing.
03:57I'm going to go get the van, drive to the old people's home
04:00and I'm going to rustle up some voters for Dad.
04:02Won't be nice.
04:03Yeah, that's a great idea.
04:05But, erm, might that seem a bit like, err, voter fraud?
04:09Yeah, no, she's right.
04:10Cos if it's a narrow margin, you don't want your dad losing out
04:12because you coerced a couple of OAPs, do you?
04:15I might be coercing them.
04:15It's all about perception, Peter.
04:18Right?
04:18Now, best you save the petrol.
04:24I'm here to support you, not talk about my love life.
04:27Pardon me for taking an interest.
04:29I take it you know his name?
04:32Well, the fact you haven't said anything must mean I know him.
04:34Just please reassure me that it's not Ian Beale.
04:36Mum!
04:39Well, there must be a reason you haven't said anything.
04:41Oh, for goodness sake.
04:43It's Grant.
04:45Grant?
04:46The only Grant I know is Phil's brother.
04:49That is for your ears only.
04:52He was married to Sharon, wasn't he, a while back?
04:55Your best mate, remember?
04:57Shhh!
04:58That was a long time ago.
04:59Anyway, I had a very, very nice time and that is all you're getting.
05:04Hmm. Aye, aye.
05:07Ian Beale?
05:10Oi! Snake!
05:12You talking to me?
05:13Yeah!
05:13Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you go and post that disgusting video.
05:18It wasn't personal, it's just politics.
05:21It's lies and defamation of character after we agreed to have a fair and honest fight.
05:26Those are alien words to you, aren't they Ian?
05:28I've done an apology video.
05:32I deeply regret my involvement in this smear on her character.
05:37I regret being involved.
05:39Right.
05:40Passed the salon earlier, saw you weren't working and thought,
05:44maybe we can have some more cake.
05:46Let yourself in, why don't you?
05:49Oh.
05:51Ooh.
05:53Ian Beale.
05:54On his knees, as normal.
05:57Begging for forgiveness.
05:59Do you know, I was engaged to that man once.
06:02Hmm.
06:03Honestly.
06:04Ooh, what was I thinking?
06:05I forgot about that.
06:07Well, anyway, we've all made desperate decisions for the wrong reasons, I suppose.
06:11Erm, hang on.
06:13Hang on.
06:14Are you checking up on me?
06:16Yes.
06:17So, come on then.
06:20Have you booked your appointment with the doctor?
06:21Yes.
06:22Good.
06:23First thing.
06:24And I've got an appointment this afternoon.
06:26Not that it's any of your business.
06:28Well, I'm making it my business, aren't I?
06:31Right, what do you want?
06:32I've got, er, little custard tarts or chocolate eclair?
06:37Eclair.
06:38Hmm.
06:38I've just been feeling a little bit run down, that's all.
06:41Got a lot on me plate.
06:44What if Linda wanted to sell her share of the salon?
06:48What, and Jack's on Skid Row all of a sudden?
06:50It's my business.
06:52Well, me and Kim's.
06:54It's got nothing to do with him.
06:56Denise, what is the point of being married to a man if he's not investing in you?
07:22No one calls?
07:24Ah, no.
07:26Cindy.
07:27I'll call her back.
07:28Hmm.
07:30Excited about your birthday party?
07:32Yeah, I am.
07:33It's going to be a laugh.
07:35Will you bring a new bloke?
07:37Oh, I've no intention of coming.
07:39But you and Cindy have a great time.
07:42Share birthday, eh?
07:44What are the chances?
07:46You're a hypocrite, you know that.
07:48Really?
07:48Yeah.
07:49You have a go at me for being all over Cindy next week, you know.
07:51You're having it off on the doorstep.
07:53Firstly, you're all over Cindy in the middle of my hallway.
07:57Secondly, I did not have it off on the doorstep.
08:00It was in the privacy of my bedroom.
08:05I hope that's cleared things up for you.
08:08I don't think I need that coffee anymore.
08:11You saved me this nice birthday cake.
08:21Right, so, Mrs Mitchell.
08:24I'm Nicola.
08:25And before you ask, there's no Mr Mitchell.
08:28You're a bit young, ain't you?
08:30To be a probation officer.
08:32Oh, let me guess.
08:33A misplaced youth.
08:34Well, we're here to talk about Eddie Knight.
08:37Not me.
08:38But yeah.
08:39Pretty misplaced, but I managed to turn myself around.
08:42Oh, likewise.
08:43I did a stretch inside myself, ABH.
08:46Well, none of us are perfect, are we?
08:48But all that's behind me now.
08:50So, um, what's your relationship with Eddie?
08:53He was my dad's best mate.
08:55And when my dad carked it, Eddie was there for me when I needed him.
09:01I mean, he's a miserable old so-and-so, but...
09:04I was brought up being told, you look after your own.
09:07Yeah, old school.
09:08Wish more people would like it.
09:10And when I heard that he could get out the neck if he had somewhere to stay for his last
09:15few months, I thought, you know, my dad would want me stepping up.
09:18I'm rattling around in a big old house.
09:25I bet you can't wait to place him.
09:29Get him out of your hair.
09:31And he's got a mouth on him.
09:33So did my old man.
09:36So, what's the next step, once you approve me?
09:39Alright, confident.
09:41Well, I've learnt you have to be.
09:43Well, we'll have to speak to Eddie's family regarding his release first.
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:47His son, George.
09:49I used to know him, but I don't know where he is now.
09:53Bluey had a rights drop when he realised he couldn't come tonight.
09:55Well, I just heard birthday party and honed in on that.
09:58Aww.
09:59I'll bring some cake back for him.
10:00You're not having cake at all, are you?
10:02Yeah, of course I am.
10:04Balloons, the lot.
10:05We are celebrating Max being one year older and me being five years younger.
10:11Love around?
10:12Yeah, please.
10:13Hello.
10:14Yeah, I'll have one.
10:15Did you get back to the estate agent?
10:17Oh, nah.
10:18Not yet.
10:19What's this for?
10:20Well, there's a flat going for rent at number three.
10:23I thought it might be great for Max.
10:24Ah, yeah.
10:25Yeah, well, stop thinking about it.
10:26Well, what's that to think about?
10:27You need to get out of the B&B and you need your own place for privacy.
10:32Sounds like she's angling to move in with you.
10:34Yeah, right.
10:35Well, they've been together, what, five minutes?
10:37Yeah, and you should be grateful for it.
10:40I am a catcher, don't you forget it.
10:42I'm not.
10:44Right, let me get some drinks.
10:45I'll call the estate agent straight after that, all right?
10:47Okay.
10:48Wow.
10:49You've got him well trained.
10:51Oh, Lauren.
10:53I've only just started.
10:57All that worry.
10:58And what for?
11:01Iron deficiency.
11:02Iron deficiency.
11:03Well, possible iron deficiency.
11:07Let's just, um, wait till you've had the blood test, yeah?
11:10Yeah, all right.
11:12This is doom and gloom.
11:14You want to see me in my deathbed, don't you?
11:16No.
11:17Of course I don't.
11:19You'd look after Ricky when I go back to Spain.
11:23Anyway, we've got a lot to celebrate.
11:25I am glad that you've beaten the cancer.
11:30And, er, yeah, make you right about asking Jack to invest.
11:36It makes sense.
11:38So...
11:39Cheers.
11:40Cheers.
11:42Oh, get that down here.
11:44Oh.
11:50See you later, Cinders.
11:52Off to the ball.
11:54You do know that makes you an ugly sister, don't you?
11:57Not Prince Charming.
11:59Have fun.
12:05What, would it kill you?
12:07Celebrate my birthday?
12:08Show me a bit of support?
12:09Well, you know, it's a big day for my mum, so my support is already spoken for.
12:13Besides, the last thing I need is to watch you and Cindy fawning all over each other.
12:17Why would that bother you?
12:18You've got this mystery geezer to have a bit of fun with.
12:20Or maybe that is just a way to try and make me feel jealous.
12:23Because if it is, it ain't working.
12:24Because I ain't jealous.
12:27Okay.
12:28You're not jealous.
12:31You know, I reckon you should definitely tell this geezer that you're still hung up on your ex.
12:39Don't weigh up.
12:50I didn't hear you coming.
12:52Oh.
12:54You're hard at it.
12:56That's what I like to see.
12:58Yeah.
12:59Do what I can.
13:00Hmm.
13:04You know, as Dads go, you ain't so bad.
13:12I know you don't want to talk about Eddie, but will you hear me out?
13:24I hate him for what he did to you.
13:29But you surprised me the other day going to see him and I can't get that out of my head.
13:40What are you saying?
13:41What are you saying?
13:42What are you saying?
13:44That maybe there is a part of you that still sees him as Mr Nobbly Knees.
13:52And if he is dying and he ain't got long, then maybe you should see him again.
13:58Try and salvage something.
14:01Yeah.
14:06Well, I've had to process quite a lot in the last couple of years.
14:10I've actually come to terms of things that you wouldn't believe, so...
14:18I can only imagine what this is doing to you.
14:40Must be eating you up.
14:52I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was you.
14:54That forgettable, am I?
14:56Just dwelling too much on something someone said.
14:59Well, tell me who they are and I'll put them in hospital for you.
15:04Joke.
15:11Last night was fun.
15:14And I think we should do it again.
15:18Maybe.
15:19But you're not going to be around for long, are you?
15:22I don't know. I've got all that stuff with Mark to sort out.
15:26You're passing through.
15:28Last night was great, but...
15:30Don't want to fall madly in love with me and be left broken-hearted.
15:37But...
15:39No-one knows what the future holds.
15:42Remember what you said last night about investing in yourself?
15:46Well, don't forget that.
15:51I suppose you could take me for a non-alcoholic beverage?
15:55Yeah, all right.
15:58What about right now? We could get over the bit.
16:02Actually, there's somewhere else I'd rather we go to.
16:11Oh, I love it!
16:13Well, I couldn't figure out what to get, y'all, so I spoke to Anna.
16:16She said you were timeless.
16:17I agree.
16:18It's from both of us.
16:19Thanks.
16:21Yeah.
16:233 to 4, eh?
16:24You sharing a birthday with Cindy?
16:26Well, all the best people were born in May, ain't they?
16:29What are you, September?
16:31It's when the scores go back, innit? It's boring.
16:33Out of all of the women in Warford, why your mum?
16:37Er...
16:37She's entitled to a love life, isn't she?
16:40Yeah, I don't mean it like that, huh?
16:42We all know my dad burns through girlfriends like matches.
16:45Look, maybe she's the one he's been looking for these years.
16:51Old people's birthday parties aren't really mine every day, babe.
16:54Yeah, we're showing our faces, right, you know?
16:56Keeping myself in the will, on the good side.
16:59Might even tell Cindy she looks ravishing tonight.
17:03The lies come so easily.
17:05I should be worried.
17:07We'll sneak off in a bit.
17:08Oh, yeah? What are you risking me off to?
17:10Community centre, lecture results,
17:14there'll be free drinks as well.
17:16Mmm.
17:18Try drinking that one, not inhaling it.
17:21Happy birthday.
17:22Beautiful. Thank you very much.
17:23Chop up that, please, Chelsea.
17:25Yeah, of course.
17:25So, er, do you two share the same birth here, or just date?
17:29No.
17:30She's much younger than I am.
17:32Very gallant.
17:34What?
17:35You're at least ten years younger than me.
17:36Look.
17:37Oh, yeah.
17:39Oh.
17:44Oh.
17:46Don't put Grant and Linda together.
17:51You go and vote, I'll be here.
17:53Linda's cutting it a bit fine.
17:56Oh, you got my vote.
17:57Oh, bless you.
17:58Oh, well.
17:59Vote for you, mate.
18:00Oh, cheers for it, Rachel.
18:08Elaine, um...
18:10Can we move on from that video?
18:12Look, I know what was in it wasn't you.
18:16Look, you're a decent woman with a kind heart.
18:18You've been a worthy opponent, and...
18:22Look, I really have put a video up there apologising.
18:26Yeah, I've seen it.
18:27Look, I just wanted this to be a fair fight.
18:30I didn't want it to turn out the way it has it, but...
18:32Yeah.
18:37I really am sorry.
18:43I don't care how sorry you are.
18:45You really hurt me.
18:51Look at him.
18:53Just like his 16th.
18:54I was 12, by the way.
18:56He had a bunch of his mates round at the house with his girl doing fancy.
18:59She ran off with one of the older boys down the street.
19:04Well, Cindy's over there, so I reckon that's just his resting Mac's face.
19:10Actually, there is, um...
19:11There's something...
19:13I want to ask you.
19:15No, but feel free to say no.
19:17But, um...
19:19It's gonna really help me out if you do help me.
19:21I'm all over this.
19:23You want me to buy Linda's Arb Salon, don't you?
19:27I'm sorry, what?
19:28Am I meant to be, er...
19:29The man that doesn't support and encourage his partner?
19:31I was planning on telling you this later.
19:33I'm all in.
19:36I love you.
19:39You're gonna buy me a drink?
19:41Oh.
19:46Well, this is very interesting, isn't it?
19:48You two arriving together.
19:51Having a little drink together.
19:53You've caught us out.
19:54I thought you said you couldn't come, Linda.
19:56Oh, I'll be leaving in a minute.
19:58You know, election results be in soon.
20:00Yeah, you'll stay though, Grant, won't you?
20:02Drinks are free.
20:03In fact, I'm surprised your Mark ain't here,
20:05cos, er, he's always on the catch.
20:07What are you doing back in Morford, anyway?
20:09Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah, I forgot.
20:11Yeah, you come back, bury your mate.
20:13What, was Linda just thrown in as a bit of a bonus?
20:15Was she?
20:16Oh, for goodness sake.
20:18Have you got a problem?
20:19Me? Why would I?
20:21Cos you sound like someone who'd like to be badly hurt.
20:25Ignore him, right? I do.
20:27You don't, do you?
20:27Make a point of coming to my party with that one.
20:32You know she's playing you,
20:33that your mate scored points with me.
20:34Have you heard yourself?
20:37Nothing I do is anything to do with you.
20:41Let's go.
20:41Yeah, yeah, go on, off you go.
20:43Toodlepip, see you later.
20:44Back to the B&B so we can get his leg over.
20:52Happy birthday, Max.
20:55Shall we?
20:56Mm-hm.
21:01What was that about?
21:03Oh, nothing.
21:03Just Grant Mitchell causing trouble as usual.
21:06Yeah, well, from where I was sitting,
21:07it looked like you were trying to pick a fight.
21:09Don't be silly.
21:10I'm a lover, not a fighter.
21:15Cindy?
21:16Yeah?
21:17Well, I just want to say, and just for the record,
21:20I'm obviously completely sober when I say this,
21:23but I actually, I'm warm into the idea of you and my dad.
21:29I mean, I'm never going to be your biggest fan,
21:31but as soon as it's your birthday, I'll throw you a bone.
21:35If there is anyone that's going to call my dad out
21:38or keep him in check, then it's going to be someone like you,
21:42innit?
21:42So just don't give up on him.
21:47Yeah, well, he walks a thin line sometimes,
21:49but then so do I.
21:52We're both attracted to danger.
21:54Both are the people that we love.
21:56We're just two strays licking our wings together.
22:01But you know what?
22:03I've got a good feeling about this.
22:05Even though he does go around picking fights with anyone.
22:11Councillor for the Walford East District.
22:13Gina, they're not calling it already.
22:15Yeah, no, I know.
22:17Party took him any time to camp, but...
22:18Sorry.
22:19Being the returning officer at the above election,
22:22do hereby give notice that the number of votes
22:25recorded for each candidate are as follows.
22:28Come on, Elaine.
22:29You've got this, Ian.
22:31Beal.
22:32Ian Albert, independent.
22:34Oh, please, no.
22:361,406.
22:42Peacock.
22:44Elaine Alexandra, independent.
22:47637.
22:52That's only four years.
22:54I therefore declare Ian Beal to be duly elected as councillor.
23:05Congratulations to you, Ambie.
23:09I am so sorry.
23:17I'll borrow you a sec.
23:19I'll take it before she starts twerking.
23:24I'll take it before she starts twerking.
23:24What's up?
23:26I'm gonna take it flat.
23:28Oh, great.
23:29Move in with me.
23:31Um, where does this come from?
23:34We're all together anyway, aren't we?
23:36So there's no point delaying the inevitable.
23:39Oh, that's very romantic.
23:40I know my track record says that I'm a mess.
23:43Yeah, well, have you seen my track record?
23:44And I don't think that you deserve better than me, but if you're willing to give me a go, then
23:49I'd love for it to work.
23:53Go on, live with me.
23:56Okay, just one thing.
23:59What was all that with Grant?
24:01Nothing.
24:02Nothing.
24:03I just don't like him.
24:04That's all.
24:04What symbol is that?
24:05I don't know.
24:06Maybe I was a bit drunk or something.
24:07Oh, so it's the drink talking, is it?
24:09So when I turn up on your doorstep with my suitcases, you're just gonna say you can't remember.
24:14Right, so you are gonna turn up with your suitcases?
24:17Well, I haven't had any other outfits.
24:25Don't have your notes.
24:27Nah, of course I'll have.
24:28And if I move in, it's gonna be for good, hmm?
24:32You sure you're ready to serve, don't you?
24:34What, with you?
24:37Absolutely.
24:45Linda.
24:46It should've been...
24:50What do you want, counsellor?
24:56Look, I should be there celebrating, but I've never felt less proud of myself.
25:01Deal with it.
25:02Oh, will you give me a break?
25:04I have said, I'm sorry, I've humiliated myself with that grovelling apology video,
25:08and I've come round here to see if you're okay, but no, no, no, you're too cold and armoured skin
25:12to have feelings.
25:13Oh, I'm sorry my feelings have upset you.
25:15Stupid me, for being too sensitive to be able to laugh off a video full of people telling me how
25:20terrible I am.
25:21Oh, what's the matter? Truth hurt?
25:22Truth?
25:23You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face like an eel!
25:33You'd make me cry. You make me live! You make me die of you!
25:41Yeah, I'm...
25:44I should get back to the community centre.
25:46You make me cry! You make me collide! You make me die of you!
25:57Life is never as simple as you think, baby girl.
26:02But I will always, always do whatever I have to, to keep you safe.
26:12You and your dad, even though he doesn't know it.
26:25What are you two narrowing about?
26:28Being a mum.
26:32What?
26:35You're burying your head, George.
26:40And Cindy and Elaine might have let you get away with it, but not me.
26:45Look, I'm not the sentimental type.
26:48I can't help thinking about Gloria and what she'd think of all this Eddie stuff.
26:54You know, she's stuck with him through all the violence, all the bad times.
27:00Why are you pushing this?
27:04Because I love you.
27:06And yes, life is horrible sometimes, but you are not a man who turns his back.
27:14I mean, I'm the one with the cold heart, aren't you?
27:19Hey, don't sound cold to me.
27:25But you're right.
27:27Mum would want me to help.
27:31What would you say to her right now if she was to do?
27:34Begging you to take Eddie in.
27:36Would you stand your ground?
27:38Would you turn your back on him?
27:43Well, if she...
27:47If mum were to ask, then I'd...
27:49I'd have to say yes.
27:52I would go and visit him.
27:58I'd try to find out if I could help.
28:02Then I suppose that's the right thing to do.
